Personally I believe that it’ll make people associate the Fediverse with Threads, which is not a good thing. Edit: It’ll replace their definition of the Fediverse, with Threads, and people may widely forget about Mastodon, Lemmy, Kbin etc.

    Judging a platform by its users or vis versa is really shitty unless it’s something truly extreme like Nazi’s. “Do we really want normies who mostly follow celebrities and l brands?” Yes, we do. I’d love to follow Matt Mercer and Wizards of the Coast on here. I’d love to follow my favorite youtubers and politicians and game studios. That probably sounds pretty palatable to many users here, but if my mom follows movie stars, TV networks, and crafting influences because those are her interests, how is that any less legitimate? And is it wrong for me to want the accounts she’s interested in to join the fediverse so we can have a common platform to share things with eachother?
